How to: Install SolusVM Master Only on CentOS 6

This guide will show you how to install SolusVM Master Only on a clean installation of CentOS 6. There are a few prerequisites so make sure you follow them closely. As SolusVM is a rather large program, it can take sometime. If you do not already have a license, you can buy one from LicensePal. You can also get a free 30 day trail.

You can now pick which version you would like to install. As the latest version is currently 1, I shall install this.

Now, you can select the mirror to use. If you are unsure, just hit 1

Finally, you can now select the type of installation to do. I shall be doing the Master with no virtualisation.

This should now start installing any dependencies.
You may get a warning about removing any MySQL Installations, just hit the return key.

When this is finished, you should see a screen like this

Moving to Nginx

In a later version of solusvm, they have an option to use nginx. To set this up, you will need to disable lighttpd

service lighttpd stop
chkconfig lighttpd off

You can now install nginx

yum install svmstack-nginx svmstack-nginx-legacy-master-config -y

After this, you will need to start it and then restart it for things to figure themselves out.

service svmstack-nginx start

The Admin Interface

After you have done everything above, you may as well head to the admin control panel which will be at https://yourip/admincp. You will see a certificate warning but you can ignore this till you setup an ssl certificate.
You will now need to enter the license you received.

and thats it, you now have solusvm installed. You can now continue to use it however you need! :D
